Several characters from last year's hit animated Disney film "Frozen" will be featured in a major storyline when "Once Upon a Time" launches season four in the fall. The role of Elsa, the film's central character and misunderstood villainess, has not yet been cast, but will debut on the season premiere.

Elizabeth Lail has been signed to play Anna, Elsa's younger sister, and Scott Michael Foster will portray Anna's love interest, Kristoff.

Luke Spencer will largely be absent from "General Hospital" for a significant part of this year, while actor Anthony Geary recovers from complicated back surgery at his home in Amsterdam. Although Geary decided to take a six-month leave from "GH," due to the lengthy and difficult recuperation process, he delayed the procedure for several weeks, allowing him to shoot additional scenes that will air while he is indisposed. Hopefully, he'll be back on set before year's end.

NBC's "The Night Shift" has been renewed. The summer medical-themed show, which blends humor and continuing drama, scored well enough in its initial eight-episode season to be picked up for 15 episodes next year.
